IIT Madras Develops Algorithm To Protect Air Traffic Control From Attacks

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras developed an algorithm-based new technique to reduce interruptions in vital networks such as air traffic control and electricity distribution during a targeted attack.

Air traffic, road traffic, power distribution infrastructure and even social media platforms are all examples of highly connected networks and are, therefore, highly vulnerable to targeted attacks.
